"fox news @ night" team are all set to take it from here. cannot wait to watch. shannon. >> shannon: thank you so much. here's a preview. new developments on the timing of the release of the classified memo on alleged government surveillance abuses. it has the g.o.p. and fbi at loggerheads. it comes after dire warnings by the fbi. former doj official weighs in on why it may be the fbi has such strong objections. judicial watch president says there's new documents that show the obama state department may have been working to undermine president trump. we will examine those claims. and partisan politics continues after president trump's call for unity. democratic congresswoman maxine waters rebuttal. prominent california republican is here to respond.
12:01 am
hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i am shannon bream in washington. brand-new tonight, serious accusations by the top democrat on the house intelligence committee as it becomes increasingly clear that memo is going to be released soon. but not all republicans claim it's going to be a bombshell report showing that anti-trump eyes was in the highest law enforcement bodies in the land. democrats claim its partisan propaganda meant to detract from the real story, alleged russian collusion during the 2016 presidential campaign. here's what we know tonight. five top if top-heavy officials went to chief of staff john kelly hoping to persuade him to stop the memos release. after he tried to allay their concerns, fbi officials went to the bureau and released a statement. minutes ago, top democrat on the house into a committee a serious new allegation that the republicans on the committee turned the memo they convey
12:02 am
committee had voted on before sending a different version to the white house for review. there is some confusion about whether the white house had input in the second version. whether were talking about two or three versions of the memo. doug mckelway is trying to get us answers. >> late tonight, here's the gist. ranking member of the house intelligence committee adam schiff accuse the chairman devin nunes of sending the four-page memo to the white house that is not the same document that members of the has been reviewing, he says. he says it's been altered. he says it's deeply troubling and he wants the document withdrawn. now we know the white house made some changes to the memo to appease the fbi. word on whether schiff may have mistaken the white house changes for what he believes or changes made by the committee. there's a good chance this memo will be in the hands of the public as early as tomorrow morning. there appears to be no white house resistance to its release. here is chief of staff john
12:03 am
kelly today. here's the exchange. with the clock ticking down, the fbi's pleading to keep the memo under wraps. the publicity of verse bureau taking the rare step of releasing the memo. "we have grave concerns about material omission of fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy." that statement comes after fbi director wray visited the white house earlier. devin nunes is infuriated over what he sees as months of fbi stonewalling over the release of key documents. today he slammed the bureau. "it's no surprise to see the fbi
12:04 am
and doj issue serious objections to allowing the american people to see information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies. "fbi familiar with material omissions with respect to their presentations to congress and the courts. he added "once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again." we are also learning just how contentious the house intelligence committee meeting was on monday at which the straight party line vote was taken to release the remote. democrats objected strenuously, noting that the memo was full of cherry picked info, membership lambasting the flawed and misleading talking points. almost no committee members or staff had read the underlying material. a minority report is in the works and is expected to be released several days after the majority report. things are getting fast and furious in this 11th hour. >> shannon: and a little bit confusing. thank you.
12:05 am
we only know what has been alleged in the memo. we are told it may involve carter page four believes so-called steele dossier filled with salacious and unverified information about the president was used as the basis for a surveillance court to spy on members of the trump campaign. let's bring in the former deputy attorney general under president george w. bush. great to see you, tom. let's talk through it. apparently the committee voted on monday to release the memo, the republicans did. it went to the white house and this is where some of the confusion comes in because we are told according to the reporting of our own john roberts with our chief white house responded, he said there was a new version of the memo at some point that was a product overview by the white house. that was then presented to those within the doj or fbi to allay their concerns. the fbi after that had this to
12:06 am
say. "the fbi was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it. as expressed during the initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy." it sounds like there may be a new version of the memo since then. whether it's a white house product or something from the majority of many, we don't know but it was enough for the fbi today to say we don't think this should be released or at least that the omissions of fact make it may be not accurate. see you on my take on this is you need to take with the fbi is saying seriously. that's not to say the memo can't ever be released or that it couldn't be released and modified but i would say the president appointed chris wray to be the director of that guy because he trust his judgment, and when the fbi says it has grave concerns about something like this, again, you don't have to follow the fbi's recommendation in every case but at minimum i think he needs to take it seriously. we've seen there is been back
12:07 am
and forth between the white house and the fbi. fbi apparently still isn't satisfied. i'm hopeful that an expert of hours before the memo gets released, there can be some sort of compromise or accommodation that at least enable some degree of transparency into what is in the memo. at the same time, in a way that assuages the concerns by the fbi. >> shannon: feels like there's a number of competing interest because of a number of republicans on the committee sang these entities have not helped us. we have tried to get information. they refused to release things for us and so we are a little bit wary of them. this is what devin nunes, chair of the committee, had to say. "having stonewalled congress' demand for information for nearly a year, it's no surprise to see the fbi and doj issue serious objections to allowing the american people to see information related to -- later on he says it's clear officials use unverified information in a court document to fuel a counterintelligence
12:08 am
investigation during american blood go camping. he basically sounds like he is telling us there what is at the heart of the memo without actually releasing it. >> that's a fair characterization. i think from the congress men's perspective, the fbi and doj officials might have been shading the law little bit were not fully presenting the evidence in order to obtain these warrants. to conduct surveillance. i think from the fbi's perspective, they may think that the congressman's presentation of the whole record is in fair isn't accurate and may jeopardize confidential sources. there's always tension between doj and congress in terms of putting a spotlight on surveillance methods and intelligence gathering, and that tension is not new. what is new here is the tension you see between two arms of the executive branch. white house on the fbi. to be having to do public dispute is extraordinary. normally this is the sort of thing were calm our heads would sit down, sorting out, they
12:09 am
would be singing from the same hymnal. >> shannon: they seem like they are at odds. we had chief of staff john kelly saying it's probably going to come up quickly. he thinks the mac people need see it. seems i got going through a lot gas on the fire. there are those who say american h the. the are those who are actively lobbying, saying there's more danger in releasing it than benefit. this is from the senator ron wyden, democrat has been critical of fisa, critical of any kind of privacy intrusion on americans. he says "if this memo comes out to my long list of less sensitive but still classified information that the american people deserve to see." it's interesting he's been one has been so critical of fisa but it sounds like this memo may also be critical of fisa or the process at least as it worked in this case. what you make of a sitting senator saying he's going to release some classified stuff too. >> is a worrisome precedent to say the least.
12:10 am
senators in their official capacity are privy to all sorts of sensitive classified information. i'm sure a lot of times they see things that really kind of wrinkle concerns, raise concerns that there might've been abuses or overstepping the law enforcement. in some cases, i think it warrants disclosure, to put a spotlight on the abuses. but you can't do it every time you have a concern. if you did come i don't think law enforcement can function. if every time senator wyden or someone on the hill says this doesn't strike me as right, therefore i'm going to release it, that can be the right outcome. i think people need to exercise judgment and discretion and really only go to the transparency when they think there is a serious material case of law-enforcement abuse. even when he do that, you need to make sure you do without jeopardizing law enforcement in general or sources or intelligence methods. >> shannon: you always tackle the tough questions. thank you. investigators are on the scene of a deadly train derailment during republican lawmakers earlier today when it slammed into a garbage truck.
12:11 am
tonight the g.o.p. retreat is going on with vice presidents mike pence opening up the gathering. lauren blanchard joins us live. good evening. >> hi, shannon. ntsb is the lead investigator of the crash. they say on scene investigation will go on for several days as they look into multiple factors, including the operators, the truck involved, the train track conditions, as well as a number of factors. earlier, vice president mike pence did go on to the retreat where he did give his speech in which he reflected on what happened. >> our prayers go out to the families of the lost and the injured. for comfort and for healing. let me be clear with all of you. we thank god today because we know it could have been much worse. >> they chartered amtrak train full of g.o.p. lawmakers colliding with a dump truck, severing it in half. one of the passage of the truck is dead and representative jason
12:12 am
lewis of minnesota was treated for a concussion. there were a number of medical professionals on the train who jumped into. one lawmaker using his shirt as a tourniquet. the wife of another lawmaker into bating an injured man to open an airway. they also perform cpr in one of the trip as a nurse but say he died from his injuries. the university of virginia medical center say they received six patients, one who is still in critical condition. the locomotive which hit the truck was just told away about half an hour ago. earlier, the rest of the train carrying the lawmakers had to be reversed about 20 miles back to charlottesville where passengers loaded onto buses and continued on to the retreat at the greenbrier in west virginia. >> what happened was a slam. >> it's a scene you don't ever want to see. riding along in the vehicle and suddenly there is a loud bang. >> we don't know whether it was brake fluid or diesel fluid but
12:13 am
it is spilling down to us. hoping a match does not go off. >> the ntsb is not speculating on what caused the yet -- or ift was intentional. president trump has been briefed on the situation throughout the day and he is still planning to give his speech tomorrow. >> shannon: thank you so much, lauren blanchard. not long after the crash, prominent commentators to do social media with tweets it appears they may have regraded. a bernie sanders surrogate who has written columns for cnn. he said wow. bill kristol tweeted: after it was revealed there was
12:14 am
a fertility, that tweet was deleted. justice department will need to drop the bribery and corruption case against senator bob menendez. the democrat from new jersey not surprisingly saying they came to the appropriate conclusion. he was charged with trading clinical influence for campaign donations and gifts. after a trial last fall ended in a hung jury, prosecutors said they would retry the case against menendez and longtime friend solomon milligan. last week a judge throughout 7 of 8 charges and today prosecutors announced they would not pursue a retrial. the head of homeland security is in minneapolis to discuss security plans for the super bowl. from our authority say there's no cannibal threats against the big game. they will continue to monitor around-the-clock leading up to sunday for the philadelphia eagles will face off with the new england patriots. new development stemming with the first lady's guess at the stated the union officer ryan holets reveals what happened to the homeless pregnant woman whose baby he and his wife adopted. dreamers in trouble and seven

12:18 am
>> ten denigrate. the emphasis we are trying to place on those young people,
12:19 am
some not so young, brought to the country and dreaming of becoming so -- becoming citizens. for the president to demean them was a low point for me. >> shannon: jim clyburn saying the lowest point in the state of the union was when the president said americans are dreamers too. in that speech, the president laid out a path to citizenship for 1.8 million young illegal immigrants. border patrol says it arrested two daca recipients. the young illegals allegedly involved in human smuggling. border patrol says one of the dreamers was scouting and the other was a driver. involved in the human smugglings a violation. they will be held in removal proceedings in dhs custody and all smelling removed from the country. >> shannon: some republicans are not too thrilled about the white house immigration plan for
12:20 am
different reasons. the president calling it a fair compromise. he said no one gets everything they want. have negotiations stalled? let's discuss it with leslie marshall. larry o'connor, radio host here in washington. leslie and larry, we talked about you guys starting your own radio show. you are so great on the radio. let's talk about the president talking about immigration last night. these are some of the reactions from democratic senators. senator kamala harris saying he was scapegoating and engaging in fearmongering. senator blumenthal said he came across as the divider in chief. senator menendez that it was bigotry and senator durbin called it inflammatory. larry, what do you make of that? >> only a democrat can hear the president saying that american citizens have dreams in this country and consider that to be a bigoted, low point. i wish kamala harris was more
12:21 am
angry about the fact that many unaccompanied alien minors have committed this country, recruited ms-13 gang members, and murdered. their vicious gang activity. weiss and she more angry about that. >> shannon: you know that a lot of people who say if there were that the president talk anonymous 13 last night and same breath he's talking about immigration conflate the two and that it's dangerous. not good for the president's argument or advocacy for his plan and it offends a lot of people. >> i think it contextualizes the conversation, let me repeat the exact words i used. they were the exact words the present use. unaccompanied alien minors. these are the people who flooded across the border in the last couple years with the above administered in. he's not talking about daca, not by dreamers. bracing the porous borders and the lack of enforcement of immigration policies that happen under obama action brought a criminal element of the country. >> shannon: the spring and leslie. the president did lay out what a
12:22 am
lot of people think is generous, too generous for some of the writers that he's going to give amnesty to 1.8 million from maybe more people who that is he talked a lot and they campaign about deporting people in all kinds of things. a lot of folks think this for him is a lot of progress moving to the middle. scott says if he drove them further apart, how do you respond. >> absolutely not. overwhelming support from the latino community goes to democrats. that would really hurt democrats politically and that's not what we as democrats want. on a live in the state that has the largest latino population, also has the largest dreamer population and the largest undocumented population.
12:23 am
has the largest gang population, not ms-13. ms-13 makes up less than 1%. department of justice facts, majority of ms ms-13 gang membs are actually american who were recruited from our schools. to answer your question, it's not a compromise and even though someone say it's generous, at all. you're looking at 5 out of 7 protections in place for immigrants coming currently that are being ripped apart. it doesn't help the refugees, this hurts not just dreamers, this i believe puts dreamers further away from their dreams and and the rhetoric we hear from the president. >> shannon: you are giving them a path to citizenship, how does it put them further away from their dreams? right now deportation is there option. >> you are looking at a 10 to 12
12:24 am
year long path. for some the timeline is unattainable. secondly because it's a multifaceted problem and i think democrats and republicans no we can't just be one piece of legislation. this is overambitious i believe. to lump it all together, that's part of the problem. last night when he did in my opinion as a democrat is he lumped ms-13, undocumented workers, and dreamers altogether. >> shannon: okay, let's bring larry back in. we had a legal immigrant from brazil on the show last week. she talked about the years in money and effort it took her to become legal and she said it's not fair. she was on the fence about whether these folks should have the same privilege that she spent every dime she had to cheat. >> the most clarifying thing that happens to me when we talk
12:25 am
about immigration is when legal immigrants call into the radio program and tell me how angry they are at the entitlement attitude that comes from people who think they should be given citizenship because they are demanding it. that's wrong, and i'm sorry. you are asking for some facts. i will tell you facts, leslie. the recommendations from the president right now reducing immigration down to 500,000 per year, that was recommended by democrat barbara jordan and her commission and the '90s under bill clinton. changing chain migration so it's only children and immediate family, that was recommended by the compassionate jeb bush in his book on immigration in 2013. he is the republican democrats love right now compared to trump. stop with the histrionics. this is never going to be solved unless people can talk with each other and stop calling each other bigots. >> shannon: that's tough. ten seconds, leslie. >> i am not calling the president or you or anybody in the republican party a bigot, but i do think the rhetoric has
12:26 am
been, from the president, we saw on the campaign trail and it was echoed last night. this was not a unifying speech on immigration. i think it was more divisive. we saw that from not just democrats. i think we are going to see it going forward from the lack of votes needed in both the house and senate by democrats and republicans that need to come together on this issue. >> shannon: in reaction to the speech last night, it was interesting the aclu was upset about how many times the president used the word america. that's a debate for another day. leslie and larry, come back soo soon. partisan or pragmatist, friend or foe? chuck schumer goes way back with his fellow new yorker. how will it affect the immigration talk? more about who schumer is and where he comes from. some of the left say the president exploited real-life people last night but the story about that man and his wife,

>> shannon: during the state of the union, president trump honored a new mexico police officer for adopting struggling drug addicts baby. many have been wondering what happened to the child's biological mother. trace joins us without. one albuquerque police officer ryan holets responded to a call last of temper, he saw crystal leaning against a wall shooting up heroin. she was eight months pregnant. officer holets told her it would kill her baby. that's when the young woman broke down in tears and said she wanted someone to adopt her child. as we now know, they took her up on the offer. here is the president last night. >> this holets named their new
12:32 am
daughter hope. ryan and rebecca, you embody the goodness of our nation. thank you. >> one hope was born in october, she was treated for heroin withdrawal. doctors don't know the full effects until she is older. officer holets says because of a go find the effort, crystal and her boyfriend are at a live-in rehabilitation center and our 40 days sober. the officer and his wife say they want crystal to be part of baby hope's life. the president singled out parents whose teenage daughters were likely killed on long island by members of the ms-13 gang. the parents were given a warm ovation but today the president's characterization of ms-13 got a colder response. kamala harris said the president wrongly equated ms-13 with the dreamers. the president's supporters said there was no such comparison.
12:33 am
in a "washington post" op-ed, a director of latin american research and florida international university says mr. trump overstated the danger that ms-13 poses here in the u.s. he is using the gang to demonize all latino immigrants. he left out the fact that ms-13's motto is "kill, rape, control." they are often recruited by mexican drug cartels as enforcers. many call ms-13 the most dangerous gang in america, including the obama administration. >> shannon: their targets are often inside the immigrant community. thank you. president trump and senate minority leader chuck schumer hail from the big apple. they have a history. is that good or bad when it comes to immigration and more? eric shawn when searching for answers. >> two new yorkers who have noon each other for decades and
12:34 am
happen to hold the most powerful jobs in the country. new york senator chuck schumer brings a long legislative history as democratic minority leader. he was first elected to the new york state assembly from brooklyn as a 23-year-old in 1974. before his election to congress and the senate. >> thank you very much. >> he has earned reputation as being somewhat of a camera hog. >> senator dole is responsible for a certain quotation that hounded me for many years. apparently the most dangerous place in washington is between chuck schumer and a camera. about straddling. he remains in the center whenever possible. >> veteran democratic consultant
12:35 am
says while schumer was burned by the government shutdown come he's practical and will make deals. >> can schumer work with trump and the republicans? >> schumer has no choice. if you look at the electoral math going into 2010, the senate seats up are not the best for democrats but they are pretty good for republicans. schumer may have to tolerate the present situation for some time, at least two years. >> i noticed chuck schumer yesterday with fake tears. i'm going to ask him who is his acting coach. >> the president has derided schumer and for his part, schumer has not hesitated to tweak trump. >> negotiating with this white house is like negotiating with jell-o. it is next to impossible. >> both find themselves in a delicate dance, with one goal never far from schumer's mind. >> if he could take back the senate, he can help destroy the republicans, that's his job. >> senator schumer has said there are almost no areas where he can compromise with the president. but he does support the
12:36 am
administration's infrastructure plans. proves he may be a brooklyn born died in the wool democrat but chuck schumer can also be a realist. >> shannon: thanks to eric shawn. democratic harvest moon maxine waters just broadcast response to the state of the union. one of her key talking points, the president exploited people of color during the state of the union address. where in the world of volkswagen get the idea it could poison monkeys to test for cleaner air? we will explain. new development start in the case of anti-trump texting fbi agent peter strzok. tom fitton joins us

..m fitton joins us
12:40 am
>> shannon: last night, you solve the president spotlight many emotional stories. some on the left are accusing him of exploiting his guests. tonight california congresswoman maxine waters, a vocal trump critic, offered her response. >> one speech cannot and does not make donald trump presidential. he's not presidential. and he never will be presidential. he claims he is bringing people together but make no mistake. he is a dangerous, unprincipled, divisive, and shameful racist. >> shannon: vice chair of the california .. party,
12:41 am
among many things. good to have you with us. what do you make of the comment? >> i think you have to put in the context of who is speaking. congresswoman waters has been playing this sort of race card ever since the rodney king riots. that's really where she made her claim to fame and embrace the people who beat up reginald denny. she's been using this rhetoric her entire career. gets kind of tiresome. i'm glad she didn't burst out into "impeach 45." that's all we've been hearing from her for a good long time. she might have. i'm not sure there is a big difference between her rhetoric and the actions we saw from other members of the congressional black caucus last night. he was really disappointed to see them sitting when the president noted the great gains they've been made by the african community in terms of employment and income.
12:42 am
>> shannon: somebody who looked especially uncomfortable last night was nancy pelosi. from your state of california. let's play a little bit of what she said today. >> it was a very transformative speech for some of us last night. because our expectations for greatness and vision for the president are not high. he stooped really low in terms of how he dealt with these issues. >> shannon: the people who praised the speech that it was uplifting, celebrity america, reagan-esque, positive, that's not at all how it received across the alfred >> i live in nancy pelosi's district. she seems to have heard of different speech than the americans were pulled yesterday. generally reviewed positively by americans. what is not to like? the president touched on themes that unite all of us.
12:43 am
we like to see security, meritocracy, 2.4 million new jobs. democrats voted to make jerusalem the capital of israel but they couldn't stand for tha that. infrastructure, investment. i think the president faked them out. they were hoping, and i think her speech was written for a different president trump than the one they saw last night. >> shannon: there were commentators last night, and we know dictate last night, who were disappointed. they said essentially this isn't really him. we can't contract him because because that's not who he is. we heard tonight the average middle-class household is going
12:44 am
to have a tax cut of $5,800. pretty significant for americans. nancy pelosi has come out and said 1,000 here, 1,000 there are crumbs. a lot of leaders out of touch with what average americans are facing. >> shannon: lot of people calling this bill apocalyptic. we will see now in the february pay period, if people see bigger checks. we see polling has tightened up and lot of folks think it's legislative wins. >> definitely tighter two months ago that it is today. if nancy pelosi thought it was apocalyptic, it is far her chance of taking back the congress. i cheer for that. >> shannon: what a great reaction, professor from tufts university said past presidents since reagan have given shout out to guests.
12:45 am
>> that's kind of a catchphrase to use. the use of examples of people in the audience of bipartisan action. many people find that type of thing, depends on your response to a motion but i thought the president used the guests in the audience to illustrate the point very, very effectively and they were human stories. that's a political skill to do that and connecting with people in a way that, jumping up and down and calling names and using attacks and wearing special clothes and pins and a distracting array of paraphernalia, it doesn't convey the human toll and the way the president did. >> shannon: doesn't seem like it brought folks closer together on. great to have you with us. time for "where in the world? "the black sea purports to show a russian near miss with the u.s. navy plane. 5 feet away from an american

>> shannon: this is a fox news alert. a lot of late breaking developments on the memo at the house intelligence committee. republicans are responding to the democrats claim a little over an hour ago that they did not get the chance to review the latest memo sent to the white house, that it was tweaked and substantively change before it went to the white house. we've been talking about the memo reportedly involving surveillance of the term campaign. here's what we are hearing. "the committee minority is now complaining about minor edits to the memo including grammatical fixes and edits requested by the fbi and by the minority. the vote to release the memo was procedurally sound and in accordance with rules. to suggest otherwise is a big dude distraction. -- bizarre distraction." let's bring in tom fitton.
12:52 am
great to have you with us. what do you make of this? earlier today it seem like the white house is looking at it. allegations tonight by the ranking democrats saying they alter the memo before they sent it to the white house. it is different than what they voted on. >> then released both versions. this is desperation. what's unfortunate is it's hard to distinguish who is more desperate, the fbi attacking the house for trying to release the memo at odds with the white house for supporting transparency, this corruption issue. or the house democrats coming up with these last-minute objections to try to prevent the release of the memo. all indications are that it will be released tomorrow despite these rearguard maneuvers by the fbi and justice department and their allies in the democratic party to keep the memo away from the american people.
12:53 am
>> shannon: essentially saying there were edits but they were minor. one was requested by the fbi and others requested by minority members. is it completely disingenuous from the letter or is adam schiff concerned that something went to the white house the committee didn't vote on. >> i don't think it's a legitimate concern. it's no surprise you might have a grammatical fix as the memo is reviewed by multiple people. if they made modest changes, it's not substantively changing the memo. this can easily be reviewed and clarified between the chairman and mr. schiff. her shift is just -- mr. schiff is trying to prevent the releaso as soon as tomorrow. >> shannon: new developments with peter strzok, the fbi agent
12:54 am
